BODY

Application filed March 5, 1921. Serial No. 450,008.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. AN- THONY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Streator, in the county of LaSalle and State of Illinois, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Body Scoops, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to dumping bodies, and has for one object an apparatus which may be used when the body carries adhesive material such, for example, as wet concrete mix or hot asphalt. When .such materials are carried in the dumping bodies the greatest' difliculty is experienced in dumping the material, and even where the material can be. dumped by the body, there is great danger that a complete dump will vnot be made. That is to say, the load will apparently be dumped, but a film or scale of material will remain within the body and will adhere to the interior of the body. In order to remove thisscale it is frequently necessary to scrape it out by hand. It is one of the objects of the present invention to produce an apparatus for use with a dumping body which will insure its complete dump when adhesive materials are handled in it, and which will avoid the accumulation of such a scale or any residue from the material carried within the body. Other objects will appear from time to time throughout the specification and claims.

The invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically in the accompanying drawings, wherein I Figure 1 is a side elevation of the attachment; I

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same with the dumping body shown in cross section.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing the body attachment in position within the dumping body.

Like parts are designated by like characters throughout.

A is the dumping attachment. It has the lateral flange A overlying the sides and rear. It is supported at the rear.on the casters B which are carried by the supports B suitably secured to the bottom of the attachment. At its forward end it has the downwardly depending members C adapted to overhang the edge of the body, within which it is mounted. In the member C are .to be dumped, and

located nuts C of the bodgr.

D is a umping body having the lateral flange D at 1ts upper edgeabout its sides and forward end. It is adapted to be supported upon the rocker D which in turn runs in the tracks D secured to the vehicle frame D. lln,the rear of the body D is the eccentric-ally hung tail gate E. Adjacent this gate and extending preferably across the body is the stop F which in the form shown comprises a strap. At the rear end of the body are the stops FF which are adapted to engage the stops C on the scoop attachment when the latter is moved into the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 3.

The use and operation of my invention are as follows The scoop attachment is designed to be used with any body or receptacle which is it is so made that it may be placed in the body when this use is necessary and may be removed therefrom at adapted to engage the side the will of the operator. The attachment is made to be set into the body and is preferably so constructed as to engage the side of the body as shown in Figure 2, so that it will not he accidentally bounced or thrown out of, the main body during the operation of dumping-or movement of the vehicle onto the road. Only one form of attachment for holding the attachment in the body has been shown. Additional means might of course be provided.

When it is desired to use the dumping attachment it is positioned within the body and placed in the forward end of the body as shown in full line in Fig. 2. The load.

is then placed in the entire body filling the scoop attachment and also that part of the body in the rear of the attachment. The portion-of the loadheld in the scoop is of course out of contact with'the interior wall of the body. When it is desired to dump the load the body is moved either automatically or by any suitable means to the dumping position and the rear gate is opened. Whenin this position the weight of that portion, of the" loadwhich is held in the scoop tends to cause the entire load to move out of the body. Since that portion of the load in the scoop is out of contact with the inside of the bod there is very little friction tending to old that portion of the are load in place. It is of course, the adhesive frictional contact of the materials which are handled which ordinarily tends to prevent dumping in the case of adhesive materials. Since the portion of the load in the scoop is practically free from friction with the body, thetendency to slide out is very strong. It is found in operation that the scoop with the load which it contains starts to move toward the rear of the body and in so doing it gives force 'to that portion of the load which is not-in the scoop but which is in the rear of it. The dumping movement of the entire load is insured largely under the influence of the dumping movement of the portion of the load carried in the scoop and so the entire load is dumped automatically under the influence of gravity. No matter how adhesive the material a complete dump is made.

The scoop attachment as it moves rearward in the dumping operation performs an additional function. The edges of the open rear side of the scoop are in close contact with the interior of the body proper and'as the scoop moves to the rear it scrapes the interior of the body, thus removing from it any adhesive material which might ordinarily stick to the inside of the body. The form of the scoop in the complete dump position shown in Fi 3 extends to the end of the bottom of the b0 y proper, and thus the entire floor of the body in the rear of the scoop is scraped during the dumping operation.

This dumping operation has been described in detail. In practice it takes place very rapidly so that the scoop attachment strikes the stop at the rear of the body with considerable violence. Thus the blow of the scoop against the stop is such that any portion of the load which has adhered to the interior of the scoop attachment is dislodged therefrom and also forces it out of the body, and

a complete dump is thus accomplished of any materlal adhering either to the interior of the body proper or to the interior of the scoop attachment.
